Members from the online community expressed shock after watching the video. A few wished they had never seen it as they would not approach a park’s bathroom the same way moving forward. Facebook user David Deshwan thought it would only happen in another country due to their toilet bowl’s piping system. According to a mustsharenews.com report, the actual location of the incident hasn’t been confirmed. As the video has been shared multiple times across social media and online platforms, some suggested it took place at an office while others mentioned it didn’t happen in Singapore. Queries were made to ACRES and National Parks Board (NParks) for confirmation. Meanwhile, others urged for the National Environment Agency (NEA) to investigate the incident and conduct an inspection of public toilets, just in case.
